Comedian Chris Kattan has been sentenced to serve three years on probation following a DUI arrest in February.

The former “Saturday Night Live” funny man, 43, was busted after driving his Mercedes through a coned-off area of a California freeway and colliding with an official state transportation vehicle.

He pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence in March, and the case returned to court this week, when Kattan was handed probation for the incident and told to complete a three-month alcohol addiction program and attend over 100 Narcotics Anonymous classes.

He has also been banned from driving with any drugs in his system that he does not hold a prescription for, and ordered to pay restitution for the car crash, reports TMZ.com.

A hearing, scheduled for September 16, will determine how much Kattan will have to pay for damage he caused to the Caltrans vehicle.

Comedian Chris Kattan has broken his silence following his (DUI) arrest on Monday, insisting “exhaustion” was to blame for his erratic behavior.

The “A Night at the Roxbury” star was pulled over by police near Van Nuys, Calif., after his vehicle was spotted “weaving all over the roadway,” according to TMZ.com.

Kattan reportedly swerved into a cordoned-off section of the road and struck another car from behind, and he was subsequently booked for DUI.

Hours later, Kattan took to Twitter.com to assure fans he was fine and back home after being released from custody.

He wrote, “Those concerned or just adding gossip: I’m fine, passed all tests, released without bail, have drivers license, cop offered to drive me home.”

The former Saturday Night Live regular added: “I just got back from a 15hr flight after touring out of the country. I was exhausted. The Police were so kind. I’m lucky nobody was hurt.”

A spokesperson for the California Highway Patrol tells The Wrap.com that Kattan was charged for a misdemeanor and submitted to a chemical toxicology test, but the results will not be available for a few more weeks.

Since it was his first offense, the comedian was released without bail, and he is scheduled to appear before a judge the first week in March.
